Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 157

Lucius was in a slightly better mood now when he pulled out his phone and saw an incoming call from Sheri.

He answered it.

"Lucius, how could you be so stupid?"

"Why would you attack Liliana's father? Go back there and apologize right now! You've upset me so much I can't even walk the red carpet properly!"

Sheri was always a clout-chaser. Tall and spending tens of millions a year on her appearance, she loved showing up at red carpets uninvited, wearing outrageously revealing gowns, paying to attend high-society galas, and forcing celebrities to take photos with her.

Right now, she was at a prestigious film festival abroad, squeezed into a sheer designer gown, yet she was calling to reprimand him about Liliana.

Lucius replied coldly, "They maliciously conned me. They manipulated me into stealing Madeline's doctor and played me for an absolute fool."

Sheri instantly exploded in anger. "What does that have to do with Grant? Madeline is the one who paralyzed Liliana in the first place! Besides, Liliana's injuries were so severe—so what if Madeline ended up paralyzed? She's just a cheap piece of trash. She doesn't even compare to Liliana!"

Lucius completely lost his temper. "Sheri, why the hell do you insist on meddling in my marriage? Will you only be happy when Madeline and I divorce? At the family banquet, Arthur explicitly stated that if I lose Madeline, I lose my inheritance! Are you trying to help me, or are you trying to destroy me? What is your actual agenda here?"

Sheri had never been screamed at like this before. She jumped in shock.

Suddenly missing a step, Sheri, who had been rushing to sneak onto the red carpet, took a massive, humiliating spill down the stairs.

Since it had rained all night, the ground was still wet. By the time her bodyguards hauled her to her feet, her glamorous gown and arms were covered in muddy water, making her look absolutely ridiculous.

Sheri's mind was racing, her eyelid twitching uncontrollably. The surrounding crowd burst into roaring laughter at her spectacular fall. She hadn't even made it inside yet, but she was forced to plaster a stiff, fake smile onto her face for the flashing cameras.

She was wearing a hidden earpiece to stay on the call.
